Raised Centerville's city property tax rate about 16%

Resolutions 2026-23 and 2026-24: a 2026 rate of .001314 (certified rate .001137) and the FY2027 final budget, after a Truth in Taxation hearing

Moved by Gina Hirst, seconded by Robyn Mecham.

What was said

• The increase, 15.61% or about $369,000 a year, centers on adding a police officer.
• Three residents spoke against it, citing fixed incomes and repeated increases across all taxing entities.
• Councilmember Bangerter supported funding another police officer but not the full increase, preferring smaller, incremental increases. Supporters cited extensive budget cuts and police staffing needs.
